  • awesome-identicons

    A curated list of "Visual Hashs" (Identicon, Avatar, Fractal, RandomArt and general Hash Visualization)

  • I'll also leave here this very nice list of identicon implementations: https://github.com/drhus/awesome-identicons

  • hashvatar

    Create hash avatar for your handler

  • Someone actually built exactly that on top of it while I was writing the article :)

  • bips

    Bitcoin Improvement Proposals

  • Libravatar

    A ruby interface for libravatar avatar service.

  • I'd recommend the open and compatible Libravatar over Gravatar

  • memorable-bits

    Render difficult to remember data, hashes and other things, to memorable strings.

  • Many years ago i created

    https://github.com/luke-clifton/memorable-bits

    (Also on hackage [0] but readme is missing)

    It let's you define a pattern for generating "sentences" from data.

    It deals with padding, lets you join word lists, or use multiple word lists in a single pattern.

    Word lists can be any power of 2 long, and the library comes with a few different word lists.

  • homebrew-ssh

    OpenSSH packaging

  • OpenSSH's randomart was too visually indistinctive for me so I've patched it to draw TrueColor images of cats. I wanted to actually seed a GAN to generate consistent images, but that turned out to be too much of a bother so I'm just keeping a local cache on a machine. Works nicely for that use-case as I'm able to associate a particular image with a particular location when working at a particular box. Good enough.

  • sigil-js

    ~4.2 billion default profile pics

  • sigil-figma-plugin

    A plugin for Figma that draws Sigils to a document

  • And a Figma plugin: https://github.com/urbit/sigil-figma-plugin

    Urbit names are just another representation of a 32-bit number, like the sigils. You can use any 32-bit number as the "seed" for a sigil.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
